The Clematis Gift
- With its twining stems, lush foliage and, of course, exceptional blooms, clematis plants make an absolutely fabulous gift. Grow yours up an obelisk in a pot, against a trellis on the wall or over a sunny arbour.
- A plant that exudes calm in abundance, you can't help but feel that little bit lighter when surrounded by a clematis and its flowers. If your recipient is in need of a bit of a slow-down in life, then opting for this plant gift is a great choice.
- Clematis plants are nice and easy to look after, just check your variety's pruning group (1, 2 or 3) to find out if/when you need to give it a trim - don't worry, though, it's nothing extensive, just a quick snip will be all that's needed, if anything at all!
- Sent to your recipient (or yourself if you're treating yourself) in a bespoke box, the clematis will be wrapped in rustic hessian, tied with a stylish bow and come complete with its very own, little care card. After all, shouldn't premium plants deserve premium packaging?
- If you're wondering what style of garden a clematis suits, you'll be pleased to hear that the answer is many. From traditional cottage gardens to more minimalist contemporary schemes, from patio plantings to the woodland edge, clematises look good whatever the theme.
